Key take away Points from Euro American
• John Rader is going to become more active in the business now that
Jerry Church is retiring.
• Euro is working hard to make changes to personnel where needed.
• Euro American is offering Proven Winners as well as a new brand
called “Euro Select” Same size tag if Mr. Deibert got his point
across.
• There is a new focus with regards to trucking. New personnel, a
different approach to filling trucks, and a commitment to make it
easier to get deliveries.
• My biggest take away was that they are aware of the issues they had
this season and are addressing them.

Catharanthus Sorie Kawaii
Series
I have seen this product at the
Costa trials and it preforms in
the heat very well.
The Kawaii series will lay flat
on the soil and spread up to
1.5 to 2 feet.
This gives me additional
product to offer to Florida
growers.
Other items were included as
possible trial products for
other territories.
